Harsh Textiles

Harsh Textiles operates out of Room No 48 on the first floor. We are in the Kalbadevi area, which is always crowded and full of energy. If you know where the Novelty Guest House is, we are right below it. It is a bit of a climb up to the first floor but we are used to it. The hallways can be narrow and there is always the sound of people moving goods. Kalbadevi is a hub for all sorts of trade, so there is never a quiet moment. We spend our hours surrounded by fabrics and rolls of cloth. It can get dusty, but that is part of the job with textiles. The building is old and has character, even if the paint is peeling. We share the floor with a few other businesses, so we see the same faces every morning. It’s a very local way of working. We don't have much space for extra things, so every corner of Room 48 is filled with something useful. When the sun hits the street, it gets quite warm, so we keep the fans going. Being near the guest house means there are always new people walking past. We keep our heads down and get through the daily pile of work that needs finishing. We have been in this plot for years and the routine doesn't change much. We just show up and start sorting through the orders for the day. There is always a cup of tea nearby while we work.
